Audi has introduced a new manufacturing process at its Neckarsulm plant which allows customers to make last minute spec changes to their A8. Changes are accepted up to two days before completion.

Director of Audi UK Kevin Rose says: “We know a very high proportion of our A8 customers will want to equip their cars to their own individual, and almost certainly unique, specification. This advanced production planning system now makes meeting their requirements simpler, faster, and more flexible.”

The company has also announced that the plant has produced its 200,000th aluminium body shell.
